Please, if you're interested, read my previous post before diving into this one.
As I was trying to sleep last night, I realized I didn't touch an important part of my thoughts on hesitation. Inconveniently, I woke up thinking about it too. (I despise my overactive subconscious. As if dealing with an overactive mind all day isn't enough, my subconscious is equally busy, at times making it impossible to actually feel rested.)
I always think if there's no takeaway, no application, no implementation, then what good is the thought. So here is where I'm going.
Hesitation in itself is not wrong. The important thing is to figure out what is causing the fear in the hesitation. After getting to the bottom of the fear—actually coming face-to-face with it—it can be brought before the Lord. Then the fear can be justly weighed.
What I'm getting at is it's important to figure out what the fears are and why they exist. And that's something the Lord can help with.
But don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting you go through that whole process before crossing an intersection in a vehicle. I say, "Just gun it and go!" :)

My subconcious has a thing for me not sleeping, as well. erg.
Exactly. Think about the root cause. Go to God about it, pray for that "spirit of revelation" Ephesians talks about. And then move on accordingly.
Oh, and gun it for sure...
